Sionnachuighim (I Play the Fox), James Kelly

Sionnachuighim, meaning “I play the Fox”, is thought to be one possible origin of the word shenanigans, and in this work, shenanigans take centre stage.

As a teenager, I entered the world of drugs and alcohol quite early. Banished to rivers and forests, my friends and I partied until the sun came up. This period of my life had an unshakeable effect on me, my psyche and my personality. In this work, I have drawn from my memories and the memories of my peers to form a narrative that compares the natural world, such as foxes, to our world, with a focus on youth and the freedom that comes with it. - James Kelly
